ABSTRACT:
A multiple clutch assembly for use in an automated transmission has two coaxial clutches wherein the discs of the driving units can be moved axially relative to the discs of the driven units by prestressed one-armed or two-armed levers in the form of diaphragam springs. The levers can be tilted with reference to the rotary housing of the multiple clutch assembly by the pistons of hydraulic cylinder and piston units. One of the cylinder and piston units is at least partially confined in the other cylinder and piston unit. One of the clutches is a starter clutch, and both clutches are actuated during changes of gear ratio for power shifting. One of the levers can be installed so that it tends to engage the respective clutch, or both levers can be installed in such a way that they tend to disengage the respective clutches.
